Reflecting on 2024, here it our top 10 continuing with 4 -6. These stories highlight substantial shifts in societal dialogues, underscoring the challenges and reflections that shaped our year.
00:00:01.921 --> 00:00:06.692 If you missed our top 10 from 7 to 10, I couldn't remember Kylie Kelsey's husband's name.
00:00:06.692 --> 00:00:10.330 It's Jason Kelsey, the former center from the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:13.208 My apologies to the great, wonderful Jason Kelsey.
00:00:13.208 --> 00:00:29.108 Welcome back to the top 10 here of the Rant Network, where we constantly every Monday, wednesday, friday, for almost four full years have been coming to you to talk about unedited, uncensored and really unafraid topics and in our top 10.
00:00:29.108 --> 00:00:46.722 This year we're going to get into the top four, five and six of the top 10 subjects that we've talked about this year, because when we get into the news, pop culture and politics and so much more, it's all about absurdity, people, and it has been a freaking absurd year in 2024.
00:00:47.423 --> 00:01:31.245 So number six, where the Democrats lost touch with American society from society suggests that the democratic party or its supporters may have been, you know, off the left wing.
00:01:31.245 --> 00:01:32.106 You know it's.
00:01:32.106 --> 00:01:40.406 It's the delusionment of the, the government and its people, and trying to force people into doing things they thought was right.
00:01:40.406 --> 00:01:41.246 You know.
00:01:41.246 --> 00:01:43.549 Defund the police Well.
00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:45.352 They had private security Well.
00:01:45.352 --> 00:01:46.775 That's a disconnection.
00:01:46.775 --> 00:01:51.989 And that America wanted this or Canada wants this.
00:01:51.989 --> 00:01:55.503 I don't want to reduce police force, I want an efficient police force.
00:01:55.503 --> 00:01:56.805 I want a fair police force.
00:01:56.805 --> 00:01:58.009 I want a fair government.
00:01:58.009 --> 00:02:09.163 I don't want to target my political opponents and use government to silence or go after mothers and fathers interested in the classroom in the middle of COVID.
00:02:09.163 --> 00:02:20.325 They were a bigger threat than the actual media and the, the, the follow the laws, follow the rules, follow the science.
00:02:20.887 --> 00:02:39.969 Democrats basically use jargon and fail to execute on that jargon but in this election, I think you can clearly say that the democrats spoke one language and the voters spoke a completely different language, the belief that still the democrats understood well.
00:02:39.990 --> 00:02:52.675 Well, you can't you can't really say that, david, because you you know what you know over half of America voted for Donald J Trump, but it was just the cities that didn't go that way.
00:02:52.675 --> 00:03:00.725 They were more divided New Jersey, new York, california, I mean.
00:03:00.725 --> 00:03:21.705 But we look at these cities with the media and the messaging and the biasness that's been presented, without showing two sides of a story, failing to use Cronkite-ism as a barometer to lead you in a beacon of truth, instead of using the weight of what I want, therefore, you shall capitulate and it just doesn't work.
00:03:21.705 --> 00:03:27.804 Hoover-ism doesn't work when you force people to do what they don't want to do by nature.
00:03:27.804 --> 00:03:29.705 And that's the big issue here.
00:03:29.705 --> 00:03:39.454 It's a poli-sci quagmire, right, they're trying to make you believe that we have the best intentions for you and we know better than you.
00:03:39.454 --> 00:03:48.382 But that's the whole reason why we live in a free society and they want to make it less free, and that's the whole reason why we live in a free society and they want to make it less free, and that's the issue, you know.
00:03:48.521 --> 00:04:02.905 Going back to the left side of abortion, you know the right isn't against abortion, but the left would have you believe this, and that's where the messaging has gone wrong, and the right has tried to get this right too.
00:04:02.905 --> 00:04:05.728 Messaging has gone wrong, and the right has tried to get this right too, and they've screwed up.
00:04:05.728 --> 00:04:12.675 But the Democrats are completely disconnected from modern society and we don't want to be treated like children.
00:04:12.675 --> 00:04:15.521 We're adults, we pay taxes and it's time for a.
00:04:15.521 --> 00:04:20.841 Let us do what we need to do, when we need to do it, how we want to do it, with whom we want to do it, and you know what, david?
00:04:20.841 --> 00:04:26.190 As I said in the first top four, we're adults, david.
00:04:26.190 --> 00:04:28.254 We can make these decisions.
00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:30.562 Apparently not according to the Democrats.
00:04:30.562 --> 00:04:34.069 The Democrats have to tell you what to do when to go take a piss.
00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:36.213 Let me tell you, it's unbelievable.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:47.339 Let me punt to you this one, coming in at number five Anti-Semitism on the campus, media and politics.
00:04:47.339 --> 00:04:55.334 And David, you're the closest guy to being on the academic floor because I think you're in that academia world, david.
00:04:57.221 --> 00:05:01.983 Well, that was offensive, because I'm only a part, I'm only a lecturer, I'm not in that world.
00:05:01.983 --> 00:05:02.865 Please, god, help me.
00:05:02.865 --> 00:05:05.653 But here's the thing, ok, folks anti me.
00:05:05.653 --> 00:05:07.778 But here's the thing, okay.
00:05:07.778 --> 00:05:17.730 Folks Anti -Semitism in 2020, the percentages are absolutely outrageous Disproportionate number of attacks on Jews in the United States, canada.
00:05:17.971 --> 00:05:19.613 The world went off the charts.
00:05:19.613 --> 00:05:22.560 We saw what happened in Amsterdam.
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:36.536 One of our most listened to podcasts was what happened in Amsterdam when Muslim organized, muslim taxi Uber drivers got together to attack Israeli supporters.
00:05:36.536 --> 00:05:58.702 It was a vile situation in which the media distorted it, trying to lay the blame on Israelis, but ignored many of the facts, including the CBC, who went to try to interview people in Amsterdam to try to lay the blame at the feet of the Jews Typical, typical, classic anti-.
00:05:58.702 --> 00:05:58.944 Semitism.
00:05:58.944 --> 00:06:09.494 We saw campuses filled with these encampments and McGill University led the way in the world in total incompetence when it came to not wanting to get rid of them.
00:06:09.494 --> 00:06:18.401 And the city of Montreal proved itself to be an anti-Semitic capital of the world when the mayor of Montreal said no, we're not removing the encampment.
00:06:18.401 --> 00:06:19.863 We're not a police state.
00:06:19.863 --> 00:06:21.946 We are not abiding by the law.
00:06:21.946 --> 00:06:24.689 You negotiate with terrorists.
00:06:24.689 --> 00:06:39.733 They had a camp for terrorists here, stuart, okay, and politicians from Ilhan Omar to Rashida Tlaib, others who spewed anti-Semitic hate in the government.
00:06:39.733 --> 00:06:42.141 The famous Jamal Bowman, who lost, blamed the Jewish lobby.
00:06:42.141 --> 00:06:57.797 The famous Jamal Bowman, who lost, blamed the Jewish lobby and, to this day, and most recently in his last days in Congress which, by the way, was hardly attended ripped Jews as the cause for the problems.
00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:06.185 Classic anti-Semitism reared its ugly head Like we haven't seen in generations, stuart, and you know what?
00:07:06.185 --> 00:07:08.449 It's a lack of leadership.
00:07:08.449 --> 00:07:10.334 It starts in the White House.
00:07:10.334 --> 00:07:17.956 When Joe Biden ignored things, it was an insult to put Dog M off as the so-called czar for anti-Semitism.
00:07:17.956 --> 00:07:27.877 Same thing in Canada, when Justin Trudeau simply sides with terrorists and appoints Anthony Housefather and Debra Lyons and says go make me a piece of paper that won't do anything.
00:07:27.877 --> 00:07:31.288 I can wipe my ass with this document because it's not going to get you anywhere.
00:07:31.709 --> 00:07:36.898 Ok, typical, typical politicians who try to take advantage of the Jewish vote.
00:07:37.218 --> 00:08:19.726 Now, if you saw what happened, stuart, in this election yes, jews continue to vote for the Democrats, but it was the lowest percentage in ages, because even Democrats Jewish Democrats went to the ballot box holding their nose, voted for Donald Trump because they couldn't believe the depths of anti-Semitism, and we've talked about Chuck Schumer and we've talked about Bernie Sanders the kind of guys who would have and force legislation to destroy Israel and hurt Jewish people in the United States and Stuart in Canada.
00:08:19.726 --> 00:08:31.922 Justin Trudeau continues to lie to people that, instead of doing the right thing, he makes these fake appointments that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, gives people corner offices and gets nowhere.
00:08:31.922 --> 00:08:52.585 Politicians around the world do not have the intestinal fortitude, like President Malay of Argentina, like President Trump now of the United States, like the President of the Prime Minister of Holland, who have now finally passed legislation to defund UNRWA the first EU country to do so as well as other countries.
00:08:52.585 --> 00:08:59.254 They do not have the intestinal fortitude because they're worried more about their political status than doing the right thing for their people.
00:09:00.044 --> 00:09:02.835 Now you're going to punt me into number four.
00:09:03.306 --> 00:09:09.654 I'm going to give you the next one and this one would be my number one, but because you're American I'm going to walk away from that a little bit.
00:09:09.654 --> 00:09:14.812 But really it ties into the anti-Semitism and that's really the situation.
00:09:14.812 --> 00:09:20.018 How is the situation with Israel evolved over 2024?
00:09:21.966 --> 00:09:27.044 Israel versus Hamas, hezbollah in Syria, the world you end.
00:09:27.044 --> 00:09:41.260 This was an episode that was thought-provoking, that actually went over many episodes that David took top shelf to because of his understanding and firsthand accounts through close family and friends that are there.
00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:45.696 Let us understand that Israel is a country.
00:09:45.696 --> 00:09:53.019 Hamas is a terrorist organization recognized by the United States as being such, as well as most of the G7.
00:09:53.019 --> 00:10:00.278 Hamas decided on October 7th to go and murder 1,500 people.
00:10:03.734 --> 00:10:05.812 It is just appalling.
00:10:05.812 --> 00:10:21.866 October 7th will sit in history in infamy, no different than World War II and the understanding of Kristallnacht and the gas chambers that murdered 6 million Jews, 11 million in total and I think what?
00:10:21.866 --> 00:10:24.455 70 million over that number.
00:10:24.455 --> 00:10:26.793 I mean, the number is just astonishing.
00:10:27.645 --> 00:10:35.416 The level of hate that exists in the Middle East is ridiculous and I talked to a lot of people of the Muslim faith and I brought this up.
00:10:35.416 --> 00:10:42.932 I literally beg anyone who thinks to be on the fence on the subject.
00:10:42.932 --> 00:11:24.506 I want you to look at 1970, beirut, 1970, syria, damascus, 1970, persia, anywhere, iran, iraq and I want you to look at a world where it was an oyster, it was literally a gem, a pearl of the world, and that turned to shit because of Hamas, hezbollah, syria and let's not forget the head of the octopus, iran, and the world has gone bananas at the UN, giving voices to banana republics that murder, massacre women on an ideal daily basis.
00:11:24.506 --> 00:11:32.437 They believe that women in most of these countries that are the banana republics, women, should be what David.
00:11:32.437 --> 00:11:38.926 They mutilate their genitalia, they prevent them from going to school.
00:11:38.926 --> 00:11:41.470 It is just a society from the Stone Ages.
00:11:41.470 --> 00:11:58.693 Yet they want to coexist in our society, or at least they think they want to, and that's the Democrats believing Israel and Hamas conflict is one of good versus evil.
00:11:58.693 --> 00:12:02.206 There is no negotiating with this type of evil.
00:12:02.206 --> 00:12:09.427 They pray and preach, took billions of dollars to build tunnels by bombs versus lifting up their people.
00:12:09.827 --> 00:12:15.927 Hamas, hezbollah are terrorist organizations and it's not free Israel.
00:12:15.927 --> 00:12:21.698 It should be free the people, and it's not the people of Israel that are free.
00:12:21.698 --> 00:12:23.792 You can be gay in Israel.
00:12:23.792 --> 00:12:25.258 You can be queer in Israel.
00:12:25.258 --> 00:12:26.562 You can be Christian in Israel.
00:12:26.562 --> 00:12:28.086 You can be Muslim in Israel.
00:12:28.086 --> 00:12:34.879 Try and be any of the above in this crazy Hamas, hezbollah, syrian world.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.657 They will beat you stone you, kill you.
00:12:37.657 --> 00:12:39.421 Let me say that again.
00:12:39.421 --> 00:12:59.235 They will kill you, burn you, stone you, without even thinking twice and women give up your driver's license, give up your freedom, because you're not only not going to be able to be sports, you're not going to be able to go to school, you're not going to be able to go to the store by yourself, You're just going to be a vessel to produce children.
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:02.076 David, take that topic let me say something.
00:13:02.157 --> 00:13:03.017 I'm going to tell you what.
00:13:03.017 --> 00:13:19.344 What I think that you you kind of like gloss it over is, if you know, at the beginning of the year, the world was after israel to not retaliate, and what we saw in 2024 was every time the biden administration tried to put a so-called red line.
00:13:19.344 --> 00:13:20.426 Guess what they found?
00:13:20.426 --> 00:13:21.929 They found terrorists.
00:13:21.929 --> 00:13:22.831 They found hostages.
00:13:22.831 --> 00:13:24.716 A so-called red line guess what they found?
00:13:24.716 --> 00:13:25.738 They found terrorists.
00:13:25.738 --> 00:13:30.244 They found hostages In the towns that they said don't go into, in the areas they don't.
00:13:30.244 --> 00:13:32.769 They found massive tunnels to it, including one into Egypt that could fit trucks.
00:13:32.769 --> 00:13:34.673 Every time the world said stop.
00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:42.884 Israel didn't listen and discovered more and more terrorism, more weapons, more opportunities for future attacks.
00:13:42.884 --> 00:13:50.159 Israel had to destroy it, but the world wanted to focus on the devastation and continues to lie about the exaggerated number.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:58.048 At the beginning of the year, at the very least, they talked about the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, and by the end of the year, it didn't even make a difference.
00:13:58.048 --> 00:14:00.349 The number, whatever number they picked up, was fine.
00:14:00.349 --> 00:14:11.269 Last week there was an article posted that said that the numbers have been grossly exaggerated, that 17,000 terrorists that Israel has killed were called innocents.
00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:12.251 They're not innocent.
00:14:12.251 --> 00:14:13.645 There are no innocents in there.
00:14:13.645 --> 00:14:16.268 Okay, let's get over this whole situation.
00:14:16.268 --> 00:14:27.206 But the world wanted to fry Israel and it was only about ruining her, which led to South Africa's going to the ICC, the International Criminal Court, to bring Israel to its knees.
00:14:27.206 --> 00:14:32.563 Okay, stuart, a completely idiotic and false accusation.
00:14:32.563 --> 00:14:47.251 And one of the judges is accused of sexual misconduct and is okay to stay on there because they are an anti-Semite, anti-israel, led by Francesca Albaneze, who continues to go around the world to spew hate towards Israel.
00:14:47.251 --> 00:14:48.908 Now let's fast forward to the end of the year.
00:14:49.393 --> 00:14:51.312 Israel decimated Hamas.
00:14:51.312 --> 00:14:52.746 Israel decimated Hezbollah.
00:14:52.746 --> 00:15:09.407 Israel, as a result, has gotten rid of, has helped to lead to the end of the Assad regime in Syria, and the world is celebrating the so-called Arab revolt or spring in Syria, but it's thanks to Israel.
00:15:09.407 --> 00:15:16.812 So, instead of thanking Israel, they're commenting about how the fact that Israel wants to take over the entire Golan, that Israel wants to invade Syria.
00:15:16.812 --> 00:15:27.335 What they're not saying again is that the Druze who live in Syria themselves want to annex themselves to Israel and not be part of Syrian society.
00:15:27.335 --> 00:15:35.673 They do not want to talk about the Sunnis, who are escaping and running away from sorry, the Shias, who are running away from Syria because they're being attacked by the Sun.
00:15:35.673 --> 00:15:36.695 It's amazing.
00:15:36.695 --> 00:15:42.586 The focal point on Israel is how to put her in a bad light and not in the positive.
00:15:42.586 --> 00:15:44.148 Israel is how to put her in a bad light and not in the positive.
00:15:44.148 --> 00:15:48.491 This was 2024, how to distort the truth to make Israel look bad.
00:15:48.491 --> 00:15:52.395 Ladies and gentlemen, last word to you, stuart, on topics four, five and six.
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.940 You know, I guess if you look at these three issues, they're also very much tied together.
00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:12.971 You cannot force a population to do what it doesn't want, and you can't call sheer terror, sheer evil good, even if it's in your political interest to do so.
00:16:13.192 --> 00:16:21.096 David, wrap it up for our second once again, we are done with parts four, five and six top ten.
00:16:21.096 --> 00:16:24.025 Hey, our next episode, the top three.
00:16:24.025 --> 00:16:27.788 And if you haven't figured it out, you haven't been listening or you've been under a rock.
00:16:27.788 --> 00:16:31.948 So thanks again for listening and, folks, we'll be back again on our next episode.
00:16:31.948 --> 00:16:37.926 Hey, listen, we are going to be out there in 2025, monday, wednesday, friday, noon Eastern.
00:16:37.926 --> 00:16:41.543 Please listen in and until next time, keep on ranting.
